Sauvion Les Bosquets Vouvray 2024
Domaine Sauvion Les Bosquets Vouvray is an expressive, off-dry Chenin Blanc from one of the Loire Valley's most celebrated appellations. Planted on tuffeau and clay-limestone soils around the village of Vouvray, with cool continental influences preserving freshness and aromatic lift, this is a wine that captures the classic balance of ripe fruit and bright acidity that defines great Vouvray — approachable, refined, and with a long, lively finish. Why You'll Love It Domaine Sauvion is a family-run producer rooted in Vouvray tradition, focused on crafting Chenin Blancs that combine regional typicity with modern precision. Meticulous vineyard work, gentle pressing, and careful lees contact all contribute to a wine of real clarity and character. Chenin Blanc is one of the world's most versatile white grapes, and this is a brilliant, food-friendly introduction to what Vouvray does best. Vineyard & Production Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness from tuffeau and clay-limestone soils, then gently pressed to preserve varietal aromatics. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel to retain fresh fruit character, with careful lees contact to add texture before bottling. Minimal intervention ensures clarity of expression and a clean, balanced profile. Tasting Notes Pale lemon with green reflections. The nose reveals ripe apple, pear, and subtle floral notes alongside a touch of honeyed richness. The palate is rounded and juicy — bright acidity, a hint of stone-fruit sweetness, and a refreshing, mineral-tinged finish that lingers. Perfect Pairings Wonderfully versatile at the table. Excellent with shellfish, white fish, roast poultry, soft cheeses, and light vegetarian dishes. Also a great match for mildly spiced Asian cuisine — the off-dry character handles gentle heat beautifully. The Blend Chenin Blanc 100%
The Holy Snail Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Thierry Delaunay, the fifth-generation of the Delaunay family is now at the helm of Domaine Joël Delaunay. A specialist in the Loire, Thierry sources the fruit for The Holy Snail wines from across the valley, some of which he buys from long-standing grower friends and colleagues. These IGP Val de Loire wines offer excellent value. The Holy Snail Sauvignon Blanc is a blend created by Thierry Delaunay using prime parcels of Sauvignon Blanc from his network of grower friends across the Touraine region of the Loire Valley. Soils here are predominantly clay and silex. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were gently pressed. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 16°C to retain the bright aromatics of the Sauvignon. Following fermentation, the wine was matured on its fine lees for a brief period to add texture to the palate, before being fined, filtered and bottled in early spring.
